Cheap Flights to Spiddal from HK$1,103

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Spiddal escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

It's simple --- be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Spiddal, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
